I agree with the latter part of your argument and wouldn't have posted my comment if that was what he said. (Although it doesn't mean we shouldn't be thinking about the risks of AGI, but rather both about how to mitigate them and how to get there before China.) The thing is, however, that regardless of how much nonsense might be out there, well though-out arguments for AI risks do exist. Dismissing them together with the nonsense has to be either a conscious choice or utter ignorance. Either of which would be very concerning for someone aspiring to develop such a high-impact technology (and quite possibly being capable of doing it).
